Chapter Seventy-Five: The Civil Affairs Team
The current Wang Shen is still a small person, and he may not be famous in the Great Song Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but after the First World War in Huaixi, there are still many people in the army who know his name.
Du Shu also asked people about Wang Daosi's origin before he came, and looked at the past at this moment. My heart suddenly sank, and I couldn't help but cheer in my heart.
I saw that Wang Shen was tall and had long arms, fair skin, sparse eyebrows, and when he smiled, he showed neat white teeth. He was dressed plainly, just a linen robe, and his demeanor was elegant, like a man of letters.
Only inadvertently, there was a sharp light in his eyes that flashed away, vaguely giving people a compelling momentum. It was only at this time that people were stunned to think that Wang Daosi was a murderous star in Huaixi.
Du Shu lowered his posture and said respectfully: "If you return to the military envoy, Du Shu will have one in the thirty years of this Chinese New Year's Eve. β
Wang Shen smiled: "I am twenty-seven this year, and I will be twenty-eight after the New Year." In that case, I have to call you Brother Du. β
Du Shu hurriedly said: "Up and down orderly, don't dare." After that, he hurriedly introduced the people who came with him to Wang Shen.
As he spoke, he observed Wang Shen's expression nervously.
At once, there were five more deputy commanders and more than 20 other officers, which was already a joke in the world, and if someone else was Wang Shen, I was afraid that he would immediately turn his face.
But Wang Shen didn't seem to care, and still greeted everyone one by one affectionately, and then set up a banquet to entertain everyone.
About 30 people sat at three tables.
It can be seen that Wang Shen is an old man who is sophisticated. toasted everyone one by one, and spoke softly, making people feel like a spring breeze, and for a while, everyone finally put down a hanging heart.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became lively.
With a compliment, one of the new officials proposed to let Wang Shen talk about the situation of the battle of Huaixi, and everyone said yes in unison.
Wang Shen couldn't shirk it, so he roughly talked about the situation of the two battles, and then sighed: "This war is not as simple as the book says, it is to die." On the battlefield, whether you are a general or a soldier, you dare not guarantee that you will be able to retreat. However, since the country is useful to us, we can only hold the consciousness of killing ourselves, and this is the duty of soldiers such as me. There are also many particularities in this battle, and it is not as generally imagined, the soldiers carry their weapons and rush up to fight. Among them, the different branches of the armed forces also have different tactics, and the so-called each performs its own duties. β
He raised his fingers and began to explain in detail the distribution of arms in the army, the means of training, and how the various armies should cooperate in wartime.
After talking for a long time, he finally said: "In the first army, the main combat troops, that is, the combat troops, actually only account for 30% of the total number. The others were auxiliary troops, which were responsible for logistical food support, rescue of wounded soldiers, camping, and recruiting people, grain, grass, and livestock from the localities during the war. Now our army is all soldiers, and I don't have any useful arm at hand, so you entered the camp today, but you have helped Wang Shen a lot. β
The thirty or so people here used to be regarded as leading figures in the local area, at least they had been Jiupin officials, and all of them were human spirits. How can I not hear the meaning of Wang Shen's words.
Just now, Wang Shen said intentionally or unintentionally that he would come to lead the troops for training and fighting, and that the logistics support and the matters related to the higher authorities would be the responsibility of all the people present, and that the affairs of military affairs should not be interfered with. Otherwise, it is not beautiful for everyone to blush. Anyway, in a word, the military salary is not short of you, but if you have other thoughts, Wang will not be polite.
Wang Shen's words were very subtle, which suited everyone's appetite. After all, they have all been mixed up on the table, and they also understand the rules of officialdom. To put it bluntly, everyone is here to eat, and if you have money, you can do it, so why bother making trouble. Moreover, Wang Daosi is very affectionate and has a very pleasant relationship with him.
Immediately, everyone expressed their intention not to meddle in military affairs.
Wang Shen was overjoyed, toasted again and again, and the guests and hosts were happy.
He then concentrated the new officers in a house southwest of the barracks. Here he had people fenced off with a wooden fence in advance, and set up the military tent of the Sizhou battalion here, which was regarded as the central decision-making body of this army.
After settling them, Gu Lie found Wang Shen with a cold face: "General Wang, so many people came here at once, and they are all officials, isn't it up to them to seize power?" Six deputy envoys, so ridiculous, these bastards come out of nowhere. The brain is full of fat, and at first glance he is a corrupt official. And that Du Shu is not a good one, others avoid it, why do you still invite this kind of plague god into the door? I think we are all iron-clad men, how can we listen to their orders. If you want to make up for the lack of deputy commander, Lu Yuhou is not a suitable person, but now he has to succumb to those six people, so he doesn't have to hold his breath. β
"They have promised to ask about military affairs, although there are many people, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to keep them." In fact, no matter ancient or modern, a unit, a department, a company, someone does the work, and naturally someone acts as a faΓ§ade to get by. Take Wang Shen's company in later generations as an example, there are not a few related households. Even if they can't do anything, it's much easier to contact the outside world on their own, at least they won't have something to trouble you.
Wang Shen: "Du Shu is Du Chong's distant nephew, we are just an outsider in the Left-behind Division, what I want is his relationship." When others want to be unfavorable to us, we have to take care of the situation. Speaking of this, he sighed: "We have a lot of people now, and it is hard to guarantee that we will not be coveted." People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads, maybe an order from above will come down, and these more than 1,000 soldiers who have been trained with great difficulty will be swallowed up. When the time comes, it will be a wedding dress for others. β
"Du Shu came over to be the deputy commander, just to find a place to settle down and share some credit. He wants credit, and he gives it, and I just want to be profitable. Hello me, hello everyone. β
Hearing Wang Shen's words clearly, Gu Lie suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "The general is right, it's just that this group of people has never brought soldiers before, they are just a group of waste." Even if they do not interfere in military affairs, they must be guarded against damaging the morale of the military. β
"No, no, I don't send them, and I don't let them go out. Anyway, every day, they were told to order on time, and then sit in the military tent, a cup of tea, and a book for half a day. Eat when it's dark and go to bed. If you don't come into contact with the soldiers, they won't be able to spoil the atmosphere. Wang Shen smiled: "You say that they are waste, but they dare not agree." β
"Look at them one by one, they are either pot-bellied, or skinny, they can't pick their shoulders, their backs can't be grinded, they can't hold weapons, what else can they be if they are not waste?"
Wang Shen just smiled and didn't say anything.
How can his mind be shared with others?
As a so-called "successful person", the reason why he is successful in modern society is that he has a heart to pursue dissatisfaction with the status quo, that is, ambition.
Since you have been to high places and seen beautiful scenery, how can you be willing to be ordinary?
Crossing into this troubled world, there are already a thousand available soldiers at hand, and Wang Shen has already thought clearly about the path he wants to take in the future - with the sword in his hand, he has carved out a world of his own in the troubled times.
To say that the big point is to drive out the Tartars, return my rivers and mountains, help the people in water and fire, and leave a name in history. To say a small point, it is to worship the marquis, divide one side, and become a prince and a big warlord who is not controlled by the sky, the earth and the people.
Big husband, only when he lives like this, can he be regarded as a little tasteful.
Nowadays, there are wars everywhere, and at the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, if you want to stabilize half of the south of the Yangtze River, Zhao Gou must rely on martial artists, and he is also willing to give powerful generals and officials. Thinking that Yue Fei was just an ordinary middle-level officer at the beginning, he fell into the eyes of the emperor because he could fight. All the way to the Zhengyi Pin Taibao, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, the envoy of the Jiedu, the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, the captain, equivalent to the vice chairman of the Military Commission in later generations. It also has jurisdiction over 100,000 people, and is in charge of the military and political affairs of several provinces in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
He might as well copy his path.
Of course, even if Wang Shen goes to the step of his future father-in-law one day, he will not be so stupid as to be obediently gone to Hangzhou to go to the Fengbo Pavilion by someone else's twelve gold medals. Yue Fei is an idealist, and Wang Shen is not as foolish as the ancients.
His idols are heroes like Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang in the late Qing Dynasty, and at least he has to mix with Yuan Weiting to show his ambitions.
But compared to Yue Fei, Wang Shen's starting point is much worse.
When Yue Lao Taishan did not debut, he was invincible in a county, with superior force, and there were heroes such as Zhang Xian and Wang Gui under his command. When I went to Kaifeng Left-behind Division, I won the trust of Zongxuan again and accumulated a good team.
And Wang Shen has no talent at hand, so he can only rely on recruiting little by little.
Du Shu's group of people, as Gu Lie said just now, are all wastes on the battlefield, purely to give the enemy heads. But don't forget, those 30 or so people used to be local government clerks, iron-clad yamen, and flowing officials. These people have worked in the local area all their lives and are proficient in civil affairs. The best thing is that they have cooperated with each other in official business for decades, and once they get started, they don't need to run in.
It can be said that the entire administrative team of Weizhou has been taken over by itself.
In the future, if he is on the side of Jiezhen, these people will immediately come in handy. Otherwise, how can it be so easy to rebuild an administrative system when the time comes?
For them, Wang Shen attaches great importance to them.
"If I can't recover them, I'm not qualified to survive in this troubled world."
Moreover, Du Shu is Du Chong's nephew. But as long as I, Wang Shen, have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, not only do I not have to worry about being robbed by my boss, but I can't say that this official can be promoted faster. Time is pressing, and I have to get everything I want before Zhao Gou stabilizes the situation and starts squeezing out the warriors. β
Thinking that he had made such a great contribution in Huaixi before, but there was no reward, Wang Shen was painful and angry.
It seems that if you want to be promoted, you have to have someone on top.
